Last night, the Pedernales Fire Department responded to a vehicle fire on Briarcliff Drive that threatened the nearby residence. Thanks to the quick response and actions of Pedernales Fire personnel and our regional partners, Lake Travis Fire Rescue, Ce-Bar Fire Department, Austin Fire Department, and Burnet County ESD 9 - Spicewood Fire Rescue, most of the damage was limited to the vehicle. Residents evacuated quickly, and firefighters checked the home for fire extension and ventilated smoke. One firefighter sustained a minor injury and was treated at the scene. During Fire Prevention Month, take a few minutes to test every smoke alarm in your home, replace alarms that are more than 10 years old, and make sure everyone in your household knows two ways out of each room and where to meet outside.
